Revisit first: Function concept and representations

TOPIC 01

Polynomial division and partial fractions

Divide polynomials and choose decomposition numerators matched to each denominator factor.

What you will be able to explain

  • Divide polynomials and choose decomposition numerators matched to each denominator factor.
  • Justify the method and check the conditions in a new situation.

Try it. Leave your reasoning visible.

Use one hint at a time. A correction explains what changed, not just the final answer.

01 / Standard#Your turn

Find quotient and remainder, then express the improper fraction.

(x2+11)/(x−1)(x^2+11)/(x-1)
  • Record all original excluded roots. Divide improper fractions first; a repeated factor needs every power.
Skills and prerequisite lessons

Working and explanation

BUILD THE REASONING

Hint 1
Write the defining equation, retain exclusions, and then solve or compare.
Hint 2
Use this intermediate relation.
x2+t=(x−1)(x+1)+(t+1)x^2+t=(x-1)(x+1)+(t+1)
Worked solution
  1. Write the defining equation, retain exclusions, and then solve or compare.

  2. Apply the stated relation and retain its conditions.

    (x−1)(x+1)=x2−1(x-1)(x+1)=x^2-1
  3. Apply the stated relation and retain its conditions.

    R=12R=12
  4. A polynomial part is needed before partial fractions of an improper fraction.

The requested relation or conclusion is shown below.

x+1+12/(x−1)x+1+12/(x-1)

Checks and common pitfalls: A polynomial part is needed before partial fractions of an improper fraction.

Reasoning checklist · self / teacher assessment
  • State a valid definition or model and its assumptions.
  • Show the intermediate mathematical relations, not only the final claim.
  • Check exclusions, units or the interpretation of the result.

Think first. Reveal a hint when the class is ready.

Focus on one question

Teacher preparation and assessment

Question sequence

  • Divide polynomials and choose decomposition numerators matched to each denominator factor.
  • Which condition is essential in polynomial division and partial fractions?
  • Can a canceled factor still create a missing point in the graph?

Board plan

  • Model or definition: Divide polynomials and choose decomposition numerators matched to each denominator factor.
    R(x)=Q(x)+A/(x−a)+B/(x−b)R(x)=Q(x)+A/(x-a)+B/(x-b)
  • Conditions: Record all original excluded roots. Divide improper fractions first; a repeated factor needs every power.

Anticipated thinking

  • Canceling a factor does not restore an excluded point to the original domain.

Assessment checklist

  • 1 mark: choose the correct representation and conditions.
  • 1 mark: establish the intermediate relation.
  • 1 mark: complete a connected calculation or proof.
  • 1 mark: interpret and check the conclusion.
